Yeah, well I am starting to wonder when my training is going to start paying off. I'm starting to wonder if I might just be spectacularly untalented

I wish.
Alex and Martin have new pbs. I, on the other hand, have a heavy cold.

I hadn’t been rowing much lately since the Dog Days challenge ended, for any number of excuses. Had a rough night of sleep last night due to a super congested wife and a wandering 3 year old, so wasn’t looking forward to rowing tonight. But, our grocery store had a coupon last week for a free energy drink, and I drank it at work this afternoon. Sat down on the erg tonight planning to do 3x3000m, knowing I want to go for a while (longest row had been 9000m) but wasn’t sure I could do it in one shot. Decided to clean the erg first, then said screw it and programmed in a 10k.

47:12.9 10,000m 2:21.6 123 723 20
9:30.6 2,000m 2:22.6 121 714 21
9:28.9 4,000m 2:22.2 122 718 20
9:27.9 6,000m 2:21.9 122 720 20
9:27.0 8,000m 2:21.7 123 722 21
9:18.5 10,000m 2:19.6 129 742 21

Pretty happy with everything all around. The basement steps never seemed so daunting, however.

An ex-colleague used to say the first 30 years of being a parent are the worst.

Really well done. Nice negative split too. First ever 10k is a big milestone. Bet you didn't think you'd be doing that a few months ago.

Yup. We've all been there (well, not your basement, obviously - that would be weird). Top of hamstrings is where it gets me.

Well done Martin. PBs are a weekly event for you at the moment!

Thanks Max, yeah, pretty perfect atm, almost every TT a PB!
I'm sure we'll see some new PBs from you soon

I might have to test some of the distances I haven't done. A PB is a PB!
What I really want next is 7500m for 30mins, but it's beyond me a bit at the moment (mentally at least).
I could perhaps have a crack at 24mins for 6k, but that always seems like a weird distance somehow and doesn't really grab me.

Good going Martin...18:10 is more like it looking at your 10K. 30mins PB due for an update?

Hahahaha





This should have been a constant 1:58/59 session at r20/22 but I got carried away. Second interval was then supposed to be at same pace but at r24 and third interval was supposed to be 1:58/59. This was one of those days when you just go with the flow and see what happens.

3k cooldown was supposed to be 2:02ish but I just couldn't stop accelerating.

Yeah, I think at nearly two weeks old, 30' is his most out of date PB.

Thanks, yeah, both 10k and 30min need an update, I'll go for 37:15 and 8100 soon, but first I want to reach sub 18 at 5k

It's 6 weeks please!
The only PBs that are a bit older are 1min (Jun) and HM (Mai), they are also on my list
To try some distances you haven't done before is a good idea I think. I've never done the 6k, for me it's a bit weird too and I have no plan to try it in the near future. 1k and 4min will be challenging for sure, some fast stuff is a nice change.
